Towards, it's using the Doppler effect, so it works good in one direction. (that's what i presumed)

and yes, i am using someone to hold it. I try to run as straight to the person as possible. (didn't say it was without any form of danger..)

I've always wondered about that. The Doppler effect is simply a shift in the frequency when the signal hits a moving object. IIRC, if moving away from you, it's shifted to a lower frequency; if moving towards you, it's shifted to a higher freq. Why can't the gun be smart enough to see how it's shifting and automatically compensate for either direction??

Sorry for the highjack; but I just wanted to know! :)
